Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

I thought the funeral episode was rubbish, apart from Shirley confessing that she tried to drown Mick, and far too long at an hour. I'm fed up with Ian's histrionics, it's getting boring now - I want to hit him with a cricket bat! Denise should just pack her bags and leave, why stay where she's not wanted?

How are the police allowed to appoint Coker to do Lucy's funeral without Ian's say so? I wouldn't want that creep anywhere near any of my relative's funerals.

I've always found funeral directors to be calm and quietly spoken - Coker stamps in everywhere and almost barks at people...?

so Stacey got 5 years for archie's murder

why didn't alfie go to the funeral? mo could mind kat

good that jane turned up for it

Exactly what I was thinking. What made it worse was that they kind of had two excuses for her not being there, Stacey's sentencing and the pregnancy. Understandable, as she must be coming up to 6 months now so with twins it's probably getting uncomfortable. But why couldn't they do the decent thing and say they thought it was best for Ian that he didn't have to see Kat today what with her pregnant with twins? I don't think Ian needs to hear about one murderer's light sentence when his daughter has recently been murdered.

Alfie doesn't go to the funeral because of Kat yet rolls up to Max's to lay down the law with a man that hates him, when he is not intimidating in the slightest. Okay then...

Also, no mention of Ronnie. Sam Womack is also on a filming break at the moment so why didn't they have a scene between Roxy and Phil where Roxy said she wasn't coming because of memories of Danielle?

Who knows. Avoiding the hate of Abi/Jay/Phil by having it cause Ian to spill the beans in the middle of the funeral rather than them? Why wasn't Christian asked to do it in the first place? Did Ian specifically mention that he didn't feel he could do it, as it surprised me that he didn't carry it?

I thought the wife was supposed to have some duties at the funeral parlour as well as running the flower stall. She would really be a better person to deal with customers and other bereaved parties.
